Good morning from BURTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT - #TEAMBURTON!!!
April 5, 2021
Praying everyone is staying healthy and well!!!
The book Future Driven: Will Your Students Thrive In an Unpredictable World? by David Geurin is the perfect book for when you are thinking of all the jobs that our students will one day occupy that have yet to be created.
Some questions that came from the book are: Are we shaping the future, preparing for unexpected challenges? How will we press on? What will we rise above?
Suggestions like “the best companies are 20 years in the future, schools can’t afford to be 20 years in the past” really should make us think about how we connect, grow, and serve by believing in our students, building relationships, and bringing positive energy.
As educators, we have the opportunity to make learning irresistible. “Student passions must be valued just as much as proficiency”.
“Learning is giving good gifts. It’s giving the best of you. It’s wondering, creating, and having the courage to do something original”.
It’s time to take full ownership and responsibility to facilitate true empowerment. You can’t learn for another human being. But you can inspire.”
“In times of rapid change, you must quickly learn the knowledge and skills needed to survive and ultimately thrive. If we want adaptable learners, we need adaptable schools.”
Let’s consider everyone as a Learner. “Teaching will test everything you’ve got. The key is not arriving at perfection. It’s to never stop growing. Be content with today’s best. But never be satisfied.”
Learn, Unlearn, Relearn - “Better schools are built on better thinking. What kinds of questions are you asking? Are students making meaning or accepting information?”
And then there is the community and beyond. “Cultures are literally colliding. Conflict is escalating. An important goal of education must be to bring people together to create global understanding.”
We welcome you to visit one of the finest school districts in the state of Texas and thank you in advance for taking time to find out more about our schools, our professional staff, our exemplary students, and our excellent academic programs. Burton Schools are a perfect place to get an education that will prepare your child for a bright future.
There is a tremendous amount of community support that goes into the success of our programs in Burton ISD. We appreciate everyone who helps make a positive impact on our schools. All of us working cooperatively make Burton ISD better together. Proud to be a BURTON PANTHER!
